And then 44 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.919 on the movies TV side the Riolets you're broadcasting, people 45 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:44.080 are always doing something big. They disreviewed the Alien Romulus movie, 46 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.719 so you can definitely go check out their thoughts on that. 47 00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.599 They did the Accolade show as well, that unfortunately has 48 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.479 been not been renewed for a season two, but hey, 49 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.719 you can check out their thoughts on that, and of 50 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.840 course you're can always listen on podcasts later. I just 51 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.159 you know, go search any of those shows individually, video 52 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:05.439 games to the max but that you're broadcasting, or tak 53 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.400 with Cafe and find him on the pods of your choice. 54 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.280 So with that out of the way, Mark, how's your 55 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:14.159 your time away? 56 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.759 And here it was hellish? So I'm going on back home. 57 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:19.639 Well that's good. 58 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.080 All I had this for seeing. It was a tablet 59 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.080 that you know you can't really do much on. 60 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.199 Well, I'm guessing you didn't take your laptop, but you 61 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:29.919 didn't think you were going to be there that long, right. 62 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.080 Yeah, I thought it was going to be there for 63 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.800 four days, not fourteen, So right, lesson learn take a 64 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:35.719 laptop next time. 65 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:41.280 Yeah, for sure, Mark's also seen Deadpool Wolverine, so I'll 66 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.000 finally get to talk about that with him. Maybe at 67 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:49.560 the end of the episode. But did you watch anything 68 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.240 from games Colm Opening Night Live. 69 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.800 Or what's the first one? The main show? 70 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:56.800 The main show? 71 00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:00.680 Okay, yeah, sign I thought the girl was pretty bad. Uh, 72 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.879 the you know, the co host they can never go ho. 73 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:08.159 I don't know why. I mean, there are obviously hosts 74 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.400 that exist or that exist. It's like, why can't you 75 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:12.560 just tire one of those people? 76 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.000 Like Oh, I mean, I think he just tries to 77 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.639 get different people, you know, So it's not I mean, 78 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:22.560 he could easily just probably get Sidney Goodman or one 79 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.000 of the Andrew Rene or anybody, and one of the 80 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.680 ones that he's had on there doing the pre show before. 81 00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.319 Even Kyle Boston did the pre show this year for 82 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.600 games Com. You know, he could get any of those people. 83 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.720 But I think he tries to give somebody else a 84 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.360 chance because they're in the streamer community, which draws other eyes. 85 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.160 I kind of get it, you know, but like you said, 86 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:45.199 it doesn't always work. 87 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:49.199 Out, right. I guess, uh, yeah, that doesn't you know. Okay, 88 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.399 And I was saying, I mean a lot of the 89 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.879 chefs didn't hit well for me. Uh, but yeah, what 90 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:56.560 do you think? 91 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:01.079 Yeah? Same here. I don't think that this was Look, 92 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.680 let's be honest, Games Calm, Opening Night Live is in 93 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.600 the third tier when it comes to the kili things, right, 94 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.319 Game Awards is number one, and then Summer Game Fests 95 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:13.439 it's kind of right up there because it's you know, 96 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.279 replaced the E three, even though this kind of feels 97 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.879 more like what E three used to be because you 98 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.360 have like everybody going and all that kind of stuff. 99 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:27.360 But and you have the show floor stuff afterwards as well, right, 100 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.079 But as far as the actual like thing, this is 101 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.839 kind of like the kickoff to that. And yes, a 102 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.040 lot of the stuff that is in here is kind 103 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.120 of the bigger stuff that gets announced during that. This 104 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.040 the whole three or four days, I think, once you 105 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.279 find out that people have to like pay to be 106 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.120 included in here, it's not it doesn't feel as curated 107 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.920 as maybe Game Awards or the Summer Game Fest stuff does. 108 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.759 And it definitely does feel like, Okay, you got some 109 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.120 you got some decent stuff in here, but you got 110 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:03.720 some things in here where it's just kind of like 111 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.639 all right, you know, just kind of feels like an ad. 112 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:12.639 And yeah, I thought that that Dune game look pretty bad. Yeah, personally, 113 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.319 especially like when they broke out like the whole base thing, 114 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:20.639 I'm like, okay, like this is very complicated and not great. 115 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:25.120 And it was funny because I watched that Lost Records 116 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.879 Bloom and Rage trailer, yes, and like this was before 117 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:31.800 like the title card or whatever. But I was like, 118 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.079 what is it? What does Life of Stranger can knock off? 119 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.319 And then I was like, oh, okay, it don't not 120 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.160 making it, but yeah, do. 121 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.240 Not making their closest thing I think they've made to 122 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:43.160 Life is Strange. 123 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:44.519 Yeah, they don't. 124 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.519 They don't work with the IP, so. 125 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.600 Right since they can't make anything with it, so I mean. 126 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.040 They we have a new Life is Strange coming out 127 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.319 pretty soon, so I guess we'll see now that you know, 128 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.600 don'tnut it's not working on it, even though was Dick 129 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.720 deck Nines made other Life of Strange games at this 130 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.639 point too, so it's not you know, like their first one. 131 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:13.079 Anything that you did like from the show that stood 132 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:13.399 out to you. 133 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.560 I'm kind of curious about that secret level thing that 134 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.600 TV show. Yeah, show what you're gonna do with that? 135 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:24.439 Uh yeah? Got some big uh some kind of big names. 136 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.639 And there's Sony shows that I mean, cradles got of 137 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.639 Wars getting its own show one Amazon, so that kind 138 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.720 of makes sense that you have cradles in there, but 139 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.319 it's supposed to be like a kind of like a 140 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:38.240 mixture of different Sony properties. And they also got Concord separately, 141 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:39.959 which I don't know if I would have made a 142 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:41.399 big deal about Concord. 143 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.680 It's a big hit of the year, very. 144 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.120 Unfortunate for those devs working on that game for eight 145 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:50.720 years and for at the bomb like that. 146 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:56.680 Yeah, but uh but yeah, everything else seemed fine, I guess. 147 00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.560 Yeah. I was interested in the Secret Level show, you know, 148 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:06.319 made by the you know, Leve War Robots that it 149 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:08.680 kind of feels like their take on video games with that, 150 00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:13.360 which I like that the I watched the first season, 151 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:17.800 I haven't watched the second one, and I liked it 152 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.839 well enough, so looking to kind of what they're gonna 153 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.800 do with that with games should be pretty good. Yeah, 154 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:27.720 one that drawa drew my attention because I really liked 155 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.439 Little Nightmares and Little Nimers three did show up in here, 156 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.039 But of course that's not the original dev team that's 157 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.039 making it. That's like now a kind of a dev 158 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:42.159 team that helped Tarshier Studios on The Nightmares two and 159 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.240 they've kind of taken that over for Van dy Namco 160 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:48.559 now and aw Tarsher went and they're now a Embracer 161 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.720 studio and they're making their own game called Reanimal. Definitely 162 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.879 looks a lot like Little Nightmare, so you can see 163 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.399 that the whole influence. Is there a lot of the 164 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.840 same kind of art style whatever. But hey, I'm down 165 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:04.799 for another one of those existing It looked really good 166 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.360 to me. I don't know if that's your You. 167 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.080 Don't want to talk about Borderlands four. 168 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:13.080 Well, I mean it's Borderlands. I mean we really didn't 169 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.840 get anything about the game other than hey, look as 170 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.320 Borderlands be excited about it. We thought we were gonna 171 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.519 have this amazing movie that it was gonna be hyped about, 172 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:23.639 and that wasn't good. 173 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.200 So you know, no, I didn't. I never found it'd 174 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:26.519 be good. 175 00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.279 No, not us, I'm talking about them. I'm sure Randy 176 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.159 Pritcher probably thought, oh, yeah, this is a great like 177 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.799 one two punch, We're gonna get a big time selling 178 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.360 Borderlands movie and then we're gonna get this announcement of 179 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.919 Borderlands four and it's gonna be hyped out of the moon. 180 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.720 And no, it didn't happen, like, yeah, I mean it was. 181 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.879 It was definitely the biggest announcement of of course, I 182 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.159 p wise probably from like the first half of that show. 183 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.519 I guess you could argue also like the Batman Arkham 184 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.639 Shadow game, but that's also being VR kind of I. 185 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.879 Was bad actually thought like that looked. 186 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.000 Interesting to me. I just hate that it's in VR. 187 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:07.840 I don't want to go buy a medic Quest three 188 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.679 for that, Like, I like, I like that, you know. 189 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.840 The the one that they had at the beginning of 190 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.799 was a PSVR one with the Batman where you just 191 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:23.759 kind of uh like, do Batman stuff inside his where 192 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.960 he lives or whatever. And then this one kind of 193 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.720 like actually that you play as Batman, do the whole 194 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.240 as if you're playing one of the games. 195 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.399 Right. The first one I think was more of a 196 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.559 detective game or more right exactly. 197 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.919 Yeah, Hey, they showed more of that dragon Ball Sparking zero, 198 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:41.720 so you know. 199 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.679 They're like, we have a secret character, and it's like 200 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:49.600 what the eighties first version of Goku, right, yeah. 201 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.200 So okay, we've got to have another another version of 202 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.399 Goku there. That's uh uh for sure. On that you 203 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.000 weren't excited about the Dying Light the Beast. 204 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:03.080 You I don really like Dying Like too that much, Okay, 205 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.720 but yeah, the whole thing is being a DLC that 206 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.879 got expanded thing always kind of worries me because either 207 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.720 turns out really decent or it turns out kind of eh, 208 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.159 So I don't know. 209 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.519 Hopefully it's more on the decent to good side. Yeah, 210 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:27.000 but we'll see on that more Monster Hunter Wild which 211 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:30.120 that continues to look good. I know you're a big 212 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:31.279 fan of Worlds. 213 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.559 So yeah, but I haven't. I don't. I haven't liked 214 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:34.759 any of the other ones, so. 215 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.679 But this one was definitely modeled after World so you'll 216 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.720 probably like it. 217 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:42.720 More than I don't know. That's pretty good. 218 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.759 Yeah, that one got a big blowout between there, and 219 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.519 then also the Future Games Show kind of revolved the 220 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.399 Big Time around it as well. Uh So, I mean 221 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.000 that's good for free access to kind of give that game. 222 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:00.000 It's it's a big one. 223 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.159 It needs to be a mid guar city though. 224 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:09.240 I mean, I would buy it if they. 225 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.240 Build the mid guard plate, you know. 226 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:14.600 Yeah, you know, if they they put that in his dlcink, 227 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.840 they could get a lot of people in there for that. Yeah, 228 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.240 it would be interesting if they could make a deal 229 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:21.320 with that, but I don't think so. 230 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.679 Uh what do you think of seeing Peter Muliniu again 231 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.639 with this Masters of Albion. 232 00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:31.679 I had to talk with Gens about it kind of 233 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.600 because it's like, I don't like his games personally. The 234 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:37.440 onely game I've ever liked from him was Table three. Okay, 235 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.480 that's when everyone else hates or that, you know, right, 236 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.720 I mean Gens correctly said, like everyone, you know, Fable 237 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.519 one and two are like the better games. I was like, yeah, 238 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.960 but I didn't like him, so they're you know, and 239 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.519 I really didn't like his other work or you know, 240 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.399 I guess I haven't played much of it, but yeah, 241 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:59.679 he seems increasingly like a con artist. Ah. 242 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.879 Yeah, definitely got the griffs going on there. 243 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.919 Yeah, that Master Albion one looks like, you know, Fable 244 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.159 smashed with black and white. Yeah. 245 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.279 With the games. 246 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:14.600 Yeah, well, especially with the hand you can pick up 247 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:19.080 your you know, your citizens and throw them around or 248 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.600 do whatever you want. I'm like, yep, I see what 249 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.600 you're doing with this. I mean, hey, if it's an 250 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:29.200 actual game, good on them. But we'll see what screwball 251 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:30.240 thing he tries to do with it. 252 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:34.159 Just yeah, it's interesting that he said it's kind of 253 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.799 in the Fable universe but not. And then he's like, well, 254 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:42.960 technically they can't trademark Albion because it's an old city 255 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.639 in the UK or whatever. 256 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:49.159 Yeah, well that's like but the yeah, the Great Britain 257 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.720 is like known or one of the other names for it. 258 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.759 Yeah. So I was like, well, I mean I just 259 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.840 wouldn't go around being like, oh, yeah, it's part of 260 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.200 Fable because then Macrosoft could technically go after you. So 261 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.080 I would kind of shut up about that, let the 262 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.879 game come out, and then if you want to talk 263 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:07.159 about it, do it. 264 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:07.480 Yea. 265 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.080 But you know, I don't know if they necessarily once 266 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:12.039 you associated with. 267 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.600 He's just trying to get Microsoft to buy it from him. 268 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.440 It probably be like, hey, coming off for me some 269 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:23.240 of that game pass money or whatever, and see if 270 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:27.240 that hits it for you. Another game that I'm sort 271 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:31.799 of interested in as well from that, probably the last one. 272 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.240 I think that it's a Mafia the Old Country. I 273 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.360 like the Mafia games. So the fact that this is 274 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.000 kind of at least they're hinting that they're going back 275 00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:44.399 to Italy and that there's another Mafia game. I'm down 276 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:48.080 for that. So awesome to see that it is existing 277 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.320 and happening. Everything else was kind of like, Okay, we 278 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.320 know it exists. Cool that it got another trailer, like 279 00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.240 a lot of the Microsoft stuff. Microsoft came out big 280 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.679 on this thing. They had all three days, so showing 281 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:04.360 off games now you can kind of see why they're 282 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:05.799 not going to be a Tokyo game show because they 283 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:08.840 elected to basically just blow out everything here at games Come. 284 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.480 It kind of makes no sense for them to show 285 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.840 up in a month or two again in Japan, where 286 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:16.720 they don't really have a big presence, and I don't 287 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:19.000 think they have anything big to show outside of the 288 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:23.039 fact that they have that marketing deal with Atlas for 289 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:27.840 the I can't think of the name right now. Yeah 290 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:35.360 the metaphor Refantasio. Yeah yeah, so yeah. Look, it was 291 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.960 a decent show. At least Scheff didn't talk the whole time, 292 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.960 which is good, and it felt like there wasn't as 293 00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:45.519 many ads, but again, this is because games Com pays 294 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:51.039 for this thing, and yeah, so it's not it doesn't 295 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:54.480 feel like, oh, we're just running twenty minutes of ads. 296 00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.720 But yeah, cool. The rest of us. I mean, it's 297 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:02.960 kind of like E three, you can go take your 298 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.440 pick on stuff that you find on the that they 299 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.519 showed up on the short floor that you liked. I 300 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.159 didn't get to watch too much of other stuff because 301 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:14.399 just it's like way too time consuming, and you know, 302 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.360 after a while it kind of starts just running into 303 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.919 like it feels like, starts feeling all the same after 304 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:25.919 will yep. So the the kind of the biggest news 305 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.799 out of this whole thing, which I know is not 306 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:32.120 your favorite thing to talk about, Mark, is Microsoft basically 307 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.960 on getting closer and closer to basically ripping off the 308 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:42.159 band aid and just saying, hey, we're going to be 309 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.600 third party. We're not going to ever tell you straight 310 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.519 up that we are, but we are. And nothing was 311 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.559 more prevalent than what they did here. As the one 312 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:57.759 more thing for that Opening Night Live was indianed Doones 313 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:01.879 in the Great Circle finally gets the release dated December ninth, 314 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:05.039 which damn, lots of games are starting to come out 315 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:07.440 in December now. For some reason, we all got to 316 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.400 wait till the end to do the Game of the 317 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:15.000 Year stuff. And then not only that, but oh we 318 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.240 have one more thing and it's the fact that there's 319 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:20.839 a PS five release state already. The game hasn't even 320 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:24.880 come out yet, and already you know that about three 321 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:28.039 months or so, four months at the most, there's gonna 322 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:32.279 be a PS five version yep. And then of course 323 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.960 Phil had to go on. He had an interview with 324 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:41.359 sarahbon where he this is with the Xbox on team, 325 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:46.759 and he was basically asked the question about what do 326 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:50.680 you what are we supposed to make of the Indiana 327 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.880 Jones announcement that close. 328 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:56.799 To Yeah, still doesn't know those answers. 329 00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:59.880 Right, I mean, he knows those answers, but I mean 330 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.440 he's gonna give the answer that he wants to give basically. 331 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:08.400 So here's what he said. Going to the PlayStation announcement. 332 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.000 You know they announced that stuff about the four games 333 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.920 going to the other consoles. H And he said, when 334 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.440 he sees what happened after that, they said they were 335 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:20.920 gonna learn and all this, that he sees that the 336 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:23.920 franchises are getting stronger. The Xbox console players this year 337 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.039 or as high as they've ever been. So I look 338 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:27.839 at it and say, our player numbers are going up 339 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.119 for the console platform. Our franchises are strong as they've 340 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.319 ever been, and we run a business, and he added, 341 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:35.279 this is really the first time I feel like he's 342 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:39.880 ever really talked about including Microsoft in this where it 343 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.599 definitely feels like he's kind of just pretty much saying, listen, 344 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.079 we now have to answer to people. We don't just 345 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.599 get to be Xbox and be on the side over here. 346 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.400 It's definitely true inside of Microsoft that the bar is 347 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:55.559 high for us in terms of delivery, that we have 348 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.359 to give back to the company because we get a 349 00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.279 level of support from the company that is just amazing 350 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.720 what we're able to go do. So I look at this, 351 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:04.759 how can we make our games as strong as possible 352 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:07.240 and ensure that our platform He used to grow both 353 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.759 on console, PC and cloud, and I think it's gonna 354 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:11.680 be a struty that works for us. He once again 355 00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.440 mentions later that the business is changing, uh, and that 356 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:17.880 we're going to see this happen, and then you know, 357 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.160 people should expect changes and all this stuff. So he 358 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.319 kind of at the end tries to turn it into 359 00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.039 we're not going to be the only one that does this. 360 00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:30.279 By the way, you're gonna start seeing this happen. Technically, 361 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.200 I guess you could say that so many has done 362 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.759 it now with the Horizon Lego game putting it on SWITCH, 363 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:40.200 but I don't think that's the same. And they put 364 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.480 you know, they're putting a bunch of their games on 365 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:45.279 PC until don remake is coming out day and day PC. 366 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:47.759 The Concord just came out on PC. 367 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.920 God of War rack in roccas according to Steam Charts. 368 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:55.920 Well, it did, but are people playing it? That's two 369 00:19:55.960 --> 00:20:01.480 different things, right, And you know, is God of What 370 00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.559 Random Box coming out off PC? Obviously that's a delayed 371 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:07.119 thing as they said they were going to do. So 372 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:10.920 is he wrong in that? Yes, Sony is obviously feeling 373 00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.319 the hurt from they're paying too much to make their 374 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:16.160 games and they're having to put some of them on PC. 375 00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:19.000 But they're not doing it like this. The way Microsoft 376 00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:21.960 is doing it is just basically like they've admitted that 377 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.799 their console does not sell as well as they is 378 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:28.000 it should you can blame whatever you want to blame 379 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:32.960 on it, and that they need money from the other things. 380 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:35.119 They also got to pay off this big debt from 381 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:38.680 the Activision acquisition, and and be does the acquisition and 382 00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:42.000 all that stuff. He mentions that as well. So at 383 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:46.480 this point and then they also announced three other xboxes 384 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:52.119 at this thing, an All Digital Series X, another Series S, 385 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:57.319 and I forgot what the other one is, yeah, White 386 00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:57.880 Series X. 387 00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:01.519 Okay, oh, the two Terrorbyte. 388 00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:04.880 Series X, which costs six hundred dollars, which that makes sense. 389 00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:09.000 It's another whole terrorbide of swordge Uh. That's basically what 390 00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.640 they do. They charge you one hundred dollars per terror 391 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:13.319 by the storage that they put in these things. Whether 392 00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:16.359 it's correct or not, that's just what they do. So 393 00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:19.279 I'm pretty sure the ps prive pro I would be 394 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.920 very surprised. PSI pro is less than five point fifty honestly. 395 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.559 But we'll see supposedly Tokyo Game shows when they might 396 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.240 announce that thing. Of course, they've been saying that for 397 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:31.359 a while every time we get to a certain point, Oh, 398 00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:33.400 it should be announced by now, and they don't announce it. 399 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.119 So I would guess to the last time. 400 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:39.079 I no longer believe any hardware rumors at this point. 401 00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.000
